Yale Imory or Vortex.

Bungee cord. I like that analogy. I second Imori. Real nice. The fly is great too. As well as cheap.

Imori is a great rope, I picked up some Blue Craze and really like the feel of it as well. Fly has always been a favorite of mine and is great if you like a soft feel and don't mind an 11mm rope. You could give Blaze a shot as well, I think the colors suck but whatever.

Blaze is a quality rope at a fair price point. I think you would be happy.
Will I notice a size difference in Blaze versus a 11.7 mm Yale line? Another factor for me is durability. 90% of my climbing is removals so I never use a friction saver. I don't like them personally.

I also have some big mitts and have been using imori and I think its pretty darn good. I also think highly of 11.7 yale lines. tachyon isnt bad either although its a little bouncy i guess. i would buy another imori line for sure. Seems to be holding up pretty good and rarely sees a friction saver.

Its so slight, more about the rope-feel IMO. Imori is great if you don't mind spending a few extra bones.

Imory is top of the pack for me. I've tried a bunch of stuff and IMHO nothing really comes close. Feels big in the hand, not too heavy, takes great to lots of different hitch cord. I have sausage fingers, I use DRt SRT, VT or hitch hiker, and I walk all over my ropes. Stuff is durable.

Buy me Chevy, Buy Me!!!!Just saw Imori is a 12mm rope also! Looks like I'll be making an order from TreeStuff this week.
I heard Vortex picks easily. What's your experience with it? I can deal with my hands hurting in exchange for a more durable rope.

Blaze ...... Good **** moe
I have not had any problems like that and I pretty much natural crotch <90% of the time.
For the money blaze is a great rope like TC101 said.

Been using a blaze 200' and love it, doesn't milk like the ivy ones and works well with a micro pulley/vt for drt. I mostly use a single eyed split tale with it and it runs super smooth.
